So the Twin Cities finally got some snow on New Years Eve, some of the biggest flakes I've seen, on this one I used a flash to get this effect.
Hi, everybody! I've been away for a bit and have barely taken any new photos since I was here last. In fact this bizarre pic was taken back in May. I'm hoping to get out of my self-induced funk soon. Hope you're all doing swell! xo

The Ricoh-Pentax fuck-up (as I call the latest developments in the vicissitudes of the brand) has suddenly brought to the closing of the two historic Pentax Square official shops in Japan. Despite communications aiming at minimizing the dismay from the side of Ricoh, the feeling is that of a complete unplanned or undisclosed fuck-up, with the a freezing or suspension of all the Pentax related activities (nobody is clearly saying it, but that is the feeling). Anyway, following the closing of the shop, they did a couple of days of super-sales and outlet liquidation of part of their exhibition items. Telling the truth, I never though - even in my wildest dreams, as they say - or even only considered getting my hands on this lens, both for its stellar price and also for its size. But this time the chance was of the kind of those you never gonna see again in your life, and despite not really for peanuts (and with some psychological-economic concern), we deliberated for the acquisition. And with this huge stud, we brought away also a new DFA 85mm f1.4 (silver edition). The zoom was an exhibition item, with only a slight aesthetic wear on the hood. The prime, instead, was boxed and never used.
It will take some time to getting used to them. The zoom is freaking huge, but is a likewise enormous satisfaction using it. I love peeping into situations from afar. I guess it will really unleash again my long asleep paparazzi spirit. Very fast, precise and super-sharp. But you really need to work out and be in good shape to go around with it. Today I went to the Immigration to receive the extended visa and while waiting the usual eternity, I brought it with me to do some homework. Sorry, dull day and nothing interesting was going on around there.
Another shot from the Royal Show, this time of the Skyflyer, thi is when it was going up to the top. Liked this better than it just spinning around at the top it gives more light trails.
Enjoy

The Confederation Bridge from Canadian mainland to Prince Edward Island is nearly 13km long, rises to 60m high and on our way back, was enveloped in this lovely mist. It also has a one way toll of $45 too!
This shot is almost 3 years old. I have played with it numerous times, and was never satisfied, then today "Voila!" " That just might work." Presidential Towers
After the constant stream of Grange jetty shots that I've posted tonight was actually the first time I've been up on it. There had been a bit of rain too so the planks picked up some nice colours in the reflection.
I had help from my fiancee with this photo. Seeing as how I was driving and stuck behind the train, I thought it best to utilize her and her passenger-side window to get this shot.
I was tempted to tweak this one a little, but I feel that it stands quite strongly on its own. Sure, a critical eye will find issue with its color, its off-kilter appearance, and whatnot, but I am not too concerned about that.
Instead of having something purely artistic, something that is purely composed, I instead have something that my fiancee and I created together.
The artsy stuff is coming . . . .
Led by ALP-44 4405, an outbound NJ Transit train on the North Jersey Coat Line makes its station stop at South Amboy, NJ. Before the electrification was extended to Long Branch, this is where PRR and PC trains would exchange their GG1 electrics for diesels to make the rest of the run to Bay Head.
Pelican on top of a light pole, I think he's waiting to see any fish, I'm sure he'll have a good view from here.
